Research Help Centre (RHC) and Sapphire requests
Postgraduate Scholarship applicants should ensure:

• their supervisors have an active Sapphire account, or request access as soon as possible. All users are asked to log into their Sapphire account well in advance to ensure that they have access to Sapphire. Inactivity in the system may result in password expiry or requirement to reset multi-factor authentication. Note that multi-factor authentication resets must come directly from the affected Sapphire user, not research team members or RAOs. Further guidance is available on NHMRC's Sapphire webpage.
  Submission of a registration form and activation of a Sapphire account must occur at least 3 business days before application close, noting that account activation processes cannot be guaranteed in less than this time.
• participating institutions listed as part of their application are available in Sapphire.
• if a participating institution is not available in Sapphire, please email help@nhmrc.gov.au, and provide the institution’s name and website address (URL) and request that it be added to the system.

For assistance, email help@nhmrc.gov.au.
